a 1200 kg car rolling on a horizontal surfact has a speed of 25 m/s when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought ot

The required spring constant:

The spring constant of the spring is 12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}.

Calculation:

The mass of the car is m=1200 kg, the speed of the car is v=25 m/s, and after colliding the spring is brought to rest at a distance of x=2.5m. Let the spring constant of the spring is, k.

From the conservation of energy,

Total initial kinetic energy= Total final potential energy of the spring

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Now, substituting the values of the mass of the car, speed of the car, and displacement, we get:

$$\begin{aligned}1200\times(25)^2&=k\times (2.5)^2\\\Rightarrow k&=\frac{1200\times(25)^2}{(2.5)^2}\\&=12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}\end{aligned}$$

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.

What is the definition of matter
xeze [42]
The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it. <span />

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point
makvit [3.9K]
To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.

Which of the following exhibit the Tyndall Effect?
posledela

Answer:

Probably all but (a)

The Tyndall Effect is caused by dispersion of the incident light by the individual molecules in the liquid.

Salt water and a foggy night will cause dispersion of the incident light.

A soda drink may also cause this dispersion, but and not sure.
